I saw this yellow land-train style truck on an old auction site and thought immediately of the Explorer 12 range of toys we've seen many times on MC. The boxy looks, multiple axles, ribbed tyres and articulation are just rock 'n' roll.
The auction listed it as a Platis Boley from 1986. I have no idea what a Platis Boley is, a brand of toy?
Six years ago I post some You Tubery of someone's very similar multi-wheel truck. Is it the same range I wonder. It says FAUN on the front. Is that a toy brand?
Anyone shed any light on these yellow land trains?
I have no idea what a Platis Boley is either. The cab looks like that on the Unimog truck.
ReplyDeleteFaun is a German truck maker.
Thanks Paul.
DeleteDont know about 'platis' but Boley seems to be a toy manufacturer in the USA.
ReplyDeleteThanks too Mish!
